    Doesn't UL fall under NRTL? Why wouldn't a UL listed contactor be acceptable?

    Compressor mag starter question

    I am putting together a Frankenstein compressor with a Leeson 5hp (20.8FLA) single phase motor. The motor has a thermal overload reset on it. Read plenty of threads recommending a mag starter over only running a pressure switch. Can I mount a 2 pole contactor in a junction box and have it...

    Suggestions to make shear bolts better

    Thank you for making my point. Unless he wants to make the investment in all of that, then this will all be fruitless. Better off buying a bunch of $4 shear pins or the grade 8 bolt and new gear box. Not trying to reverse engineer a shear pin with no data.

    Suggestions to make shear bolts better

    You need to find out what amount of force causes your particular shear bolts to yield. Then you can reverse engineer the grade of bolt and depth to cut the notches. Unless you know what you are starting with then you are shooting blind.

The two I am deciding between are a Vantage Pro with set of leads and version 9.4 or a Vantage Ultra with leads and the optional low amp clamp with version 14.4. I see many people gravitate towards the vantage pro for a dedicated scope, is there any reason to...

    Channellock snap ring pliers

    Mine were good for 1-2 years of occasional light use. They started flinging snap rings across the room and finally broke a couple of the tips. I got the Snap On SRPCR112 to replace them.

    Generator inlet question

    I did check them out. The deterrent was no phone number to call to answer questions. The Micro Air folks, answered the phone, answered my questions beyond any reasonable expectation. Then went on to ask about my setup, made suggestions, etc. Today it is so rare to find customer support folks...
